> In the early 2000s, there was all this hype that the next frontier for American tech companies was China. Yahoo went into China and started ratting out its users to the politburo and having them arrested and tortured because that was w

My point is to avoid government overreach like how China, Russia, UK & almost India behave with regards to the internet existing & wanting companies to make backdoors within encryption or get booted out of such markets

Nobody asked a former investor's opinion on how to run a company. There's literally outsourcing companies, freelancers who are continents/timezones away plus entrepreneurs who start up from dorms/garages.....this sort of

I guess pandering to governments worldwide tends to have such effects. Just wish we could crowd fund another country or planet to avoid all this BS....

FreeCAD is in dire need of a UI overhaul. Either merge into blender or take up some RTX rendering chops from them!

Yeah right, the last thing we want is to be like them.

They banned it for gathering data they are not supposed to just like India. But Element & other secure communication services are being banned for a tangential reason

Wow, the rest of world should ban everything that comes out of India if they don't have representation/offices in 200+ countries I guess. Did these clowns miss the memo on how the internet works & what sort of business/ap

We're beyond their company name/work relation or even the non-profit to profit turn over. We're pissed at them willy nilly scraping the internet citing fair use for something which is neither research nor itself governed unde

Fair use training, then BS ToS on fair output usage. Then using the funding to intimidate GitHub repo owners for banal stuff. It's like Google or AWS telling you that you can't use their API/compute to train a competing Speec

That's the saddest part of our current world. Deciding what is best for their citizens using technology which they did not invent themselves....

Screw these in-person bosses. If you didn't have culture before COVID you're not going to magically have it after coming back either. Employee gatherings need to be intentional & not stuffing people on the same floor & hop

Wow, for a company who's mission is to enable transportation from point A to B across the globe this is pretty nuts. So the employees are supposed to work from a physical location in SF to SSH into us-east-1 machine & debug somethi

Ironically you can get rid of political spam on Twitter by ignoring tweets with any kind of hashtag. These accounts have hardly any personal content apart from regurgitation of the same image & garbage text accompanying it everyday on f
